Other ethnic groups like Hause, Ibo, Fulanis and Agatus horvever reside in all parts of the State.The State has a population of about 2.2rnillion (1991 census). However. 760,988 is estirnated to be living in 1,131 communities in the 14 endemic LGAs in the state. Population movetnents occttr due to the following reasons: population displacements / The movernent of the Agatus into the State during the farming season, and return to their ancestral places thereafter. Of the total population of 760,988, 531,361 people were treated during the period with 1,300,568 tablets. This represented a 70o/otherapeutic coverage. Targeted trainings were conducted in the 5th year of the project. Only 678 CDDs and 543 Health workers were trained/retrained. These represented an achievetnent of 97%o and 95oh respectively as far as AtrOs are concerned. Strengths of the project include existence of Sustainability plans based on realistic budgeting rvhich can be bLrilt on for an effective and efficient progratnme implementation. increasing support by LGAs for CDTI irnplernntation, integration of CDTI activities into other PHC activities, particularly at the LGA level, and appointrnent of sorne CDDs as top political functionaries in some assisted LGAs in the State. Greater slrpport is therefore anticipated from such LGAs, if they continue in office. The rnajor challenges that faced the project are the strike action by the entire r,vork lorce in Osun State for a period of 3 months which disrupted implernentation of planned activities. lirnited involvement of Health Centre/Post staff in CDTI activities, inadequate Irotivation of CDDs by the cornrnunities and lack of adequate census update. To address these challenges the project tried to carry out activities on a limited scale during the strike period; efforts were rnade to train more health facility staff and communities have been re - rnobilized to contribute rnore to the CDTI process especially with regards to incentives to CDDs. A censtts update with assistance fiom UNICEF is being planned lbr February 2004. 2 WIIO/APOC, 26 Scptember 2003 SECTION {: Background information 1.1.

Nigeria 1J.A Ige and 2S.O. Ajamu 1,2Department of Civil Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso Correspondence e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Granite is an essential constituent material in concrete production as its inadequate quantity has led to massive application of gravel in construction works. Locally sourced gravels are characterized with impurities which affect the quality of the concrete. Therefore, this study investigated the quality of locally-sourced gravel across Osun State. Gravel samples were obtained from the borrowed pits across the three Senatorial Districts viz Osun West (OSW); Osun Central (OSC); and Osun East (OSE) of the State. The locations are: OSW [Irewole (IRW: 07030’N 04020’E), Egbedore (EGBE: 07040’N 04030’E), Ede North (EDE: 07040’N 04030’E)]; OSC [Ifelodun (IFD: 07055’N 04041’E), Osogbo (OSO: 7046’N 4034’E), Olorunda (OLO: 7046’N 4034’E)] ; and OSE [Ilesa West (ILS: 700N 500E), Ife Central (IFE: 70050’N 4069’E), Ife East (IFEE: 70050’N 4069’E)]. Physical examination in accordance with BS 882, Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) test, and sieve analysis were carried out on the gravel samples. Concrete cubes were cast, subjected to Slump, Compressive strength and compared with BS 812 Standard. Physical examination shows samples having dry, dark, and brownish gravelly irregular shapes for OSW and OSC while they were predominantly reddish, gravelly irregular shapes for OSE.
  • Analysis of Demand for Rice in Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria

    Analysis of Demand for Rice in Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria

    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 12, No.2, 2010) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania ANALYSIS OF DEMAND FOR RICE IN ILE IFE, OSUN STATE, NIGERIA By: Kassali, R., Kareem, R.O., Oluwasola, O. and Ohaegbulam, O.M. ABSTRACT This study analyses the determinants of demand for rice in Ife Central Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to: analyze the determinants of demand for rice, identify the various rice brands that are mostly consumed, determine the nature of the relationship of other foods items to rice and the nature of rice as a consumer good in the area of study. A random sampling procedure was used to select one hundred respondents from the area. The findings revealed that price of rice, income of household head, price of substitute good like yam and beans, and size of household have significant influence on the demand for rice in the area. Various rice brands are consumed in the area but those that are largely consumed are Tomato, Caprice, Royal Umbrella, Mama Africa, and Rice Land brands of rice. Of all the staple foods declared by the respondents as substitutes to rice, only yam and beans were positively significant, hence, these are substitutes to rice in the area. Rice was also found to be a normal good in the area. Demand for rice being elastic and income being inelastic, price rather than income stands to be the greatest source of increase in demand. A slight reduction in price would bring more than proportional increase in demand that would offset the reduction in price thereby improving the revenue and welfare of the industry.

ADESOJI, Taofeek O. HASSAN, Nurudeen O. AROGUNDADE Department of History, Obafemi Awolowo University ABSTRACT The minority problem has been a major issue of interest at both the micro and national levels. Aside from the acclaimed Yoruba homogeneity and the notion of Ile-Ife as the cradle of Yoruba civilization, relationships between Ife indigenes and other communities in Ife Division (now in Osun State, Nigeria) have generated issues due to, and influenced by, politi- cal representation. Where allegations of marginalization have not been leveled, accommoda- tion has been based on extraneous considerations, similar to the ways in which outright exclu- sion and/or extermination have been put forward. Not only have suspicion, feelings of outright rejection, and subtle antagonism characterized majority–minority relations in Ife Division/ Administrative Zone, they have also produced political-cum-administrative and territorial ad- justments. As a microcosm of the Nigerian state, whose major challenge since attaining politi- cal independence has been the harmonization of interests among the various ethnic groups in the country, the Ife situation presents a peculiar example of the myths and realities of majority domination and minority resistance/response, or even a supposed minority attempt at domina- tion.

    Leveraging Rural Water Supply: Demand Management for Sustainable Healthcare Delivery in South West Nigeria

    Sustainability Today 353 Leveraging rural water supply: demand management for sustainable healthcare delivery in south west Nigeria O. Ojo Osun State University, Department of Geography and Resource Management, Okuku Campus, Nigeria Abstract The study examines the status of rural water supply, demand management, and its implications for sustainable healthcare delivery in selected communities in South West Nigeria. The issue of water availability and accessibility on the one hand and water supply and sustainable healthcare delivery, particularly as related to sanitation and hygiene on the other, were also investigated. Basic data for the study were generated through the use of a questionnaire. Additional information and data were also obtained through pre-tested, qualitative and quantitative instruments and these were analyzed using relevant statistical techniques. The implications of the observed water supply, demand system on sanitation and hygiene practices in the study area were analysed. Some of the challenges facing rural water supply, demand management and their impacts on healthcare delivery in general, and sanitation, and hygiene practices in particular in the study area were also highlighted. The results showed that the present situation of water supply and demand system in the study area is characterized by a substantial water demand deficit with serious implications for effective healthcare delivery in general and sanitation and hygiene practices in particular. Arising from its findings, the study recommends a number of policy options for optimizing rural water supply and demand management for sustainable healthcare delivery in the area. These include the need to identify key variables that influence rural sanitation and hygiene practices, and mainstream such variables into the planning process.

O. and D. Omodara Department of Agricultural Economics, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Received 18 November, 2014; Accepted 24 February, 2015 A key policy instrument in the cocoa transformation agenda is to provide subsidized inputs for farmers to replace old grooves to increase cocoa production in Nigeria. The study examined the role of cocoa marketing cooperatives in enhancing the incomes of its member patrons in Osun State under the cocoa renaissance policy. Multi stage sampling method was used to select 100 respondents from four cocoa produce marketing unions in the State. Data obtained were analysed with descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis and the multiple regression technique. The study revealed that the average age of the respondents was 64.4 years and only 16% of the cocoa farms were developed after the commencement of the renaissance policy. The farmers operated an average of 5.4 ha farm sizes while inputs supplied respondents through cooperative societies were much cheaper compared to what obtained in the open market. The gross margin to enterprise was N387, 639 while the net income was N345, 282. The regression analyses revealed that while family size, age, level of education, farm size and cooperative experience were significant determinants of output, family size, farm size, cooperative experience and amount of cocoa marketed through cooperative societies were significant determinants of income realized in the cocoa enterprises.

Received 9 November, 2019; Accepted 7 February, 2020 Pawnship was both a credit system and an important source of labour in Yoruba land. It was highly utilised in the first half of the twentieth century Osun Division, sequel to its easy adaptation to the colonial monetised economy. This study examined pawnship as a labour system that was deeply rooted in the Yoruba culture, and accounts for the reasons for its easy adaptability to the changes epitomized by the colonial economy itself with particular reference to Osun Division in Southwestern Nigeria. The restriction here is to focus on areas that were not adequately covered by the various existing literature on pawnship system in Yoruba land with a view to examining their peculiarities that distinguished them from the general norms that existed in the urban centres that were covered by earlier studies. The study adopted the historical approach which depends on oral data gathered through interviews, archival materials and relevant literature. It is hoped that the local peculiarities that the study intends to examine on pawnship here, will make a reasonable addition to the stock of the existing knowledge on Yoruba economic and social histories. Keywords: Pawnship, adaptability, Osun division, colonial economy, monetisation.

DOI: Materials and Methods: Twenty clusters of 60 individuals who were 50 years or older were 10.4103/0974-9233.102741 selected by systematic random sampling from the entire community. A total of 1,183 persons Quick Response Code: were examined. Results: The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of bilateral cataract-related blindness (visual acuity (VA) < 3/60) in people of 50 years and older was 2.0% (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.6–2.4%). The Cataract Surgical Coverage (CSC) (persons) was 12.1% and Couching Coverage (persons) was 11.8%. The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of bilateral operable cataract (VA < 6/60) in people of 50 years and older was 2.7% (95% CI: 2.3–3.1%). In this last group, the cataract intervention (surgery + couching) coverage was 22.2%. The proportion of patients who could not attain 6/60 vision after surgery were 12.5, 87.5, and 92.9%, respectively, for patients who underwent intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, cataract surgery without IOL implantation and those who underwent couching. “Lack of awareness” (30.4%), “no need for surgery” (17.6%), cost (14.6%), fear (10.2%), “waiting for cataract to mature” (8.8%), AND “surgical services not available” (5.8%) were reasons why individuals with operable cataract did not undergo cataract surgery.

    Violence in Nigeria : a Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis

    Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos (ed.) West African Politics and Society series 3 Violence in Nigeria Violence in Nigeria Violence in Nigeria Most of the academic literature on violence in Nigeria is qualitative. It rarely relies on quantitative data because police crime statistics are not reliable, or not available, or not even published. Moreover, the training of A qualitative and Nigerian social scientists often focuses on qualitative, cultural, and political issues. There is thus quantitative analysis a need to bridge the qualitative and quantitative approaches of conflict studies. This book represents an innovation and fills a gap in this regard. It is the first to introduce a discussion on such issues in a coherent manner, relying on a database that fills the lacunae in A qualitative and quantitative data from the security forces. The authors underline the necessity of a trend analysis to decipher the patterns and the complexity of violence in very different fields: from oil production to cattle breeding, radical Islam to motor accidents, land conflicts to witchcraft, and so on.
